One of their daughters became Saint Catherine of Sweden. When Bridget became a widow in 1344, she had a vision of her late husband. He told her that she could help shorten his purgatory by having Masses said and by giving alms to the poor. Reading this story can encourage us to follow in the footsteps of Saint Bridget of Sweden, who humbly followed God's promptings and was always generous to those in need.
